The blame is fastened" on Guy and he, thinking his love is hopeless, starts out the door to the electric chair. Lyla refuses to let Guy make the sacrifice. It also hap- pens that she has fallen desperately in love with Guy, but you may be sure she would have made the gesture just the same.

In the first place, this present glorification of calm, white flesh was so beautiful throughout it took your breath away. The settings by the Master, Joseph Urban, and the costumes by John Harkrider, could not be bettered, as far as I could see. Ziegfeld is still a rnaster- at putting the punch of a number at the -end instead of at the beginning. When you use the Btòx
